That result saw Charlton's advantage ahead of the relegation zone slashed, as Yeovil and Millwall, the league's bottom two, both won.

Barnsley, who occupy the last place in the bottom three, also drew, increasing the pressure on Charlton ahead of a must-win home fixture. Yeovil have lost just one of their last five matches.

Millwall travel to an in-form Wigan Athletic outfit and Barnsley also have a tough road trip, visiting the second-placed Burnley.

Leeds United will travel to Watford with the club's messy ownership saga finally resolved.

Italian Massimo Cellino was initially blocked by the Football League from taking over at Leeds, but won a subsequent appeal on Saturday and quickly pledged to return the club to its former glories.

Leeds' players should have eventually been paid their full March wages by the time the Vicarage Road fixture begins – and they will take heart from a 2-1 win at the same venue on the final day of last season, a result that forced Watford into an ultimately unsuccessful play-off campaign.

With Leicester City's promotion sealed on Saturday, their attention will turn to the Championship title when they welcome the visit of Brighton and Hove Albion.

Other sides involved in the play-off hunt are QPR and Derby County, who visit Blackburn Rovers and Blackpool respectively.

Nottingham Forest will look to an arrest an alarming slump in form at home to Sheffield Wednesday and Ipswich Town face a Huddersfield Town side who have not won since March 1.
